DiffMAX combined with Electron Spectroscopies

About the workshop

Background: The DiffMAX beam line is on the roadmap for experiments at MAX IV. Currently the beam line design allows for diffraction and scattering experiments in the photon energy range 10 – 45 keV. The undulator design also yield X-rays in the tender X-ray range (between 3 and 7 keV) - here the opportunity for adding electron spectroscopies to the experiment which would enable determination of both geometric and electronic structure in the same setup.

Purpose of the meeting: We want to gather scientists interested in material science with X-rays using diffraction methods or spectroscopic methods (or both) to 1) see examples of XRD/PES combinations presented by invited speakers and 2) discuss how we can use the combination of techniques to do new science at the proposed DiffMAX beamline.

Where and when: At the Ångström Laboratory in Uppsala on the 22nd and 23rd of March 2017 (week 12).

Audience: Everyone with an interest in combining diffraction and electron spectroscopic methods for doing material science at the MAX IV synchrotron.

Aims and goals: By gathering scientists interested in material chemistry and physics and discuss how the mentioned techniques can complement each other we will produce components to a scientific case which can be used to pursue this concept further.

The following subjects will be discussed in groups at these locations:
